Part #2

More Pics!!!!!!
 

 Jack checking out the new whip.  Will anyone know what a whip is 10 years from now?

 Kiddos checking out the brand new playground in Maplewood.

 One word, Hammock.  Good times.Hey! Get those Sasquatch feet out of the picture. 

 Cousin Time

 Jack is a very happy eater, until the food is gone then he is ready to choke slam someone for more.

 Good form!

 Max with his Post Impressionism picture of mom.  Nailed it.

 Mom and Max getting some reading in. 

Max started soccer again.  Two games under out belts.  The superstar coach has the kids rounding into form and Max is way more into it this year than last.


Sirius always gives out free service around the holidays.  They give you about 50 channels and a random one will have top to bottom solid tunes.  90s on 9 got its turn this time.  Can't get enough of this classic.

Catching Up

Hello again friends.  Been meaning to update the b log for a few weeks now.  Check your hands, are they shaking from blog withdrawal or new post excitement?  Without further ado, the new post!

Jack update:  He sprung up two bottom teeth a few weeks ago and has the 2 top ones coming in now.  Every once in a while he he get hold of the couch and then let go and stand on his own for a few seconds.  

 Boadrding at Afton Alps.  Took Max up there a few times at the tail end of winter.  He was a big fan.  Had a couple good spills but overall he did awesome. 

Somewhat funny story: There was a 9 or 10 yr old girl on the chair lift when Max was going down.  She was all like, "oh, look at that baby going down, that is so cuuuuuuute!".  Then she said to her friend behind her, "Did you see the little baby going down, he must have been 2-3 years old".  Max is 5, thank you very much.  

The little baby shredder.

 Boys club!

 Max update:  Went snowboarding, he's taking swimming lessons and actually went under water, and he lost his first tooth.  The replacement was more or less in places by the time this one popped out.  Eating a strawberry did the trick. 

 Summer is coming!

Video of the week:

In honor of summertime here is a great summertime jam.  It's a pretty amazing video too.  Was Mungo Jerry part Wolverine?

Stuff

Alright, so last post was a bit of a hodge podge and this one won't be much different.  The pictures are a little bit out of order.

I should also provide an update on our good friend Jack.  I'm sure 15 years from now he will give us grief on Max getting a new post every 1-2 weeks and him getting one every 3 years.  Well, long story short you are a handful.  As we speak you are getting out of your chair and standing.  You are 7 months old, you shouldn't be doing that.

As you will see in the pics below, he is now pulling himself up to his feet.  He has been crawling for about 1 month now. Progressing a lot faster than Max did, we were not ready for that.

Anyway, onto the pics!

 Monster Jam show at the dome, in a word, coconuts.  Probably 95% capacity.  Trying to navigate the crowd with 2 kids was a bit intense, but we made it.  The jam, as always was a good time.  Nice way to end the metrodome experience.   

 Long Hair

 Thulsa Doom Haircut tradition.

















The climbing machine. 

 Pulling himself up on anything. 

 Little wrasslin' practice with Simon.  The girls at daycare said Jack has no issues with crawling right over the other babies to get where he needs to go. 

 Enjoying some jello at daycare for Valentines Day.  He was a little unsure at first, but then started wolfing it down.

 More monster truck pics.

 Lego Movie with uncle Eric.  I'll give it a 8/10.  I was actually expecting it to be a little better with how many great reviews it got.
